Free agent food for thought

How about looking at jevon kearse and champ baily to help solidify our defense?

Why would we need Kearse? We already have two good starting pass rushers, and Whitehead is a good rotational 3rd man.

From what I hear, they are looking at Champ Bailey. Although apparently the lions wanted him, and the Redskins asked for this years 1st round pick, 2nd round pick, plus a player or additional pick.

Giving up a first and second rounder to get Champ would be insane, with so many top corners likely on the market this year.

Keep in mind that Champ stated in a TV interview last year that he wants to play on the same team as his brother, Boss Bailey, who happens to be a linebacker for the Detroit Lions, and they are in need of a CB.
EDIT: Guess I could read the story first, everything I stated was in the article :casstet:

Champ Bailey value is a little high for me. He turned down a 14 mill sign bonus twice, once from redskins the other from the falcons. I would prefer 2 cb (Ahmed Plummer & Shawn Springs) instead of the cost for one CB, Bailey or Woodson.
